What did you do TO / WITH / FOR your bike today!

[Flow-Rider]

Around the Hastings point area, very cool little lookout with a wooden path and stairs as well. Didn't risk this little baby though.

Had an absolute ball, some clowns say the old bikes are shit. I just say those people have lost their way with the marketing blurb. Sad really

Damn, that is a nice spot.

Just bought 3 x Pirelli Scorpion Trail M tyres for $38 each at Wiggle among other things.

If they're decent then I just scored an absolute bargain!

Had the day off today. So various house things, then figured the rain wasn't going anywhere. So went for a ride.
Ohh. Moist! And slippery eh...
Crashed it. Landed right on my hip, on the buckle of my bum bag hip pack enduro sack.
Brushed off the mud
Rode some more.
Couldn't shift much because I jarred my thumb pretty bad.
Will not regret my decision while staring at a screen for work tomorrow.

Cut down the other OneUp carbon handlebars to 780mm, chopped the one on the Spur last week and it felt ok, chopped the Deviate today.

Wont go any narrower anytime soon, can feel it riding a blockie even know its only 10mm each side, no proper ride as it pissed down here today

It seems to be more pronounced on the 35mm rise bars than on the 20mm rise, even know both are 8°back sweep and 5° up sweep.

Would have liked to get to 760mm... might take a bit of time.

Did that with my thumb, three days later, x-ray showed broken thumb. Hope yours is ok

I dunno.... If I don't get an x-ray, then there will be fewer reported broken thumb reports this week. And the stats on % chance of having a broken thumb will be lower. And so I'll have a lesser chance that it's broken.

I mean. Works for COVID right?

Rode it at the Youies with @Jpez and the @moorey 's.

Also broke it (fovno 60t lasted 10kms)

Fixed it (trusty 18t)

Then got leg cramps and cut the ride short.

I'd like to think I was more of a sea anchor than an actual anchor riding with all those fit buggers

Shit ! That worked out well.

@fjohn860 is a torque monster. Many times I've been lulled into thinking he's just cruising along because his cadence is low, only to realise he's just comfortably riding about 2 gears harder than me!

Haha, that definitely wasn't me this arvo.

I'm going to count the teeth on my "46t"

Because it felt like 36

Another Holidays weekday arvo ride on my horrible old noisy bike.
Was a little worried about all the rain yesterday, but conditions were mint.

At least the bike was silent for a couple of moments on the ride haha.

Was a cracking night, cheers lads. Bugger about your ratchet, glad you were carrying a spare. Good times.

Was that you I saw taking off down Igor?

Was a good night despite the mechanical.

Like I said, I wasn't sure how it would go/last (hence why I packed the original).

Some have had great success with the Fovnos. Me not so much lol

 

[Chriso_29er]

Most likely haha.
I also ran into Mike up there.

Did a run of Lactic with your kid. He says you go first. I said you sure I don’t wanna hold you up. He said yeah I’m shagged after 10 laps. Didn’t looked shagged to me. Anyway I did a decent run, no mucking about and he kept a polite distance behind me. I was imagining him on auto pilot checking his Insta feed.
Definitely good times.

If you can ride behind him and keep him in site long enough it's funny seeing him look like he's weightless and just getting big air with seemingly no effort!

I’d like to pretend I had more to do with that than just producing a sploosh.

Went and looked for it's replacement.
The shop had Transition Spire and Scout on the floor for ogling.
Went to check out the colour of the red alloy scout as I can use most of the parts from my Enduro.
I have no need /use for a 170mm 29er but the switchboard orange alloy Spire looks amazing.
